The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““I think the defendant is at liberty to prove the contract, that it was agreed that the conveyance of the house and lot should be a discharge of the debt due for goods sold, notwithstanding the only consideration set forth in the deed was the one thousand dollars. It is no contradiction of the deed, but it is proving a distinct fact.””
